All of the shows up until then are in the can so, unless they get heavily promoted in viginettes and backstage segments, I don't see why they would be on the main card. Probably a dark match only.

Since they're in Texas, they really don't need to be promoted. As soon their names are announced live, the crowd is going to lose their poo poo. Texan wrestling fans never forget the Von Erichs.

They made an ad buy on The Fan to promote the August tapings. I don't know if I'll laugh or cry if John Sterling is forced to read a TNA plug during a Yankee game. Laugh probably.

Wolves are champs, not the Bro Mans. As said it would probably either be a dark match or an opener.

Not a revelation and this board have a lot of ROH attendees in that area both current and lapsed but Mike Johnson on Wednesday really made a compelling point in how he said that New York crowds have seen the most high end, cutting edge in ring Wrestling from ECW to WWE to ROH so to person your standard talk heavy IMPACT is total and utter suicide. TNA defenders say oh TNA ran an event there before but that wasn't a TV and TNA still had a lot of workhorses then and the TNA house show was this tested honed act that was as separate to their TV product as could be.

Is it still a rumor that he works for the company? Because he wrote a couple weeks back about how he didn't turn MVP heel, and that MVP started his group because he used to be a criminal and is therefore untrustworthy.

I'm not making any of this up.

quote:

TNA began running radio ads in New York City on WFAN this week. WFAN is likely the most expensive sports radio station in the country to advertise on. However, the ads are for TNA's August tapings, not the tapings in June that are having slow sales. It's worth noting that Jeff Hardy, one of TNA's most recognizable names, was not mentioned in the ads. Stars mentioned were Eric Young, MVP, Bobby Lashley, Kenny King, Velvet Sky and "New York's own Bully Ray."

poo poo like this is why TNA will never be anything. They have Jeff loving Hardy (who, like it or not, is their biggest star), but I bet if they were to advertise him now they'd go "Come see Willow The Wisp!"

That very well may be possible for the August tapings, but he should definitely still be with TNA for the June tapings. Which as the article says TNA didn't run ads before, because why bother advertising for tapings that are selling badly that you could still salvage by making Jeff Hardy a focal point of the ads.
